Damn both parties
Friday, October 3, 2008 at 04:04PM The government is quickly becoming a noose around the country's neck. With this much power it won't be long before micro-manangement of our financial system begins and the political pigs begin tearing into the $700 billion slop.
I have lost complete confidence in both parties. Our government is an outlaw government -- a collection of petty thieves who couldn't produce a valuable good or service between them if you held guns to their heads. It's time to stop the petty agruments over presidential candidates and begin the process of turning the whole frigging table over.
When people lose faith in government and believe that government is corrupt, then law and order is at risk. If the government can steal, then why can't we? It won't surprise me if we see a huge increase in tax evasion and a drop in government revenue. The government can't lock everyone up and the best thing we could do would be to starve the pigs by not providing slop.
You will definitely see people working the system to get their piece of the $700 billion dollars, and I can't say that I blame them. I believe I'll make a case why my three homes need to be restructured at much lower interest rates and principal.

Rep. Joe Knollenberg, R-Michigan, said he changed his vote to "yes" on Friday after calls to office changed after Monday's rejection of the plan in the chamber.
"A lot of people change their minds (about the bill) after seeing heartbreak in the streets," he said.

Oh yeah, my heart is breaking -- please mend it. For what it's worth, I will be relentless here in my attack on the present government. I hope there is a cyber uprising, and a real uprising where people take to the streets in protest. I hope the voices are so loud it breaks the windows of the White House and shakes the doors of the Capitol off its hinges. But there probably won't be an uprising. A few will mumble, a few will look for how it benefits them and many will give up and do what they can with what they have.
Yes, something needed to be done, but not this. And the American people said they did not want THIS. They could have lowered taxes, could have done away with irrational regulations, could have removed government from finances and allowed the free market to function, but they didn't have the guts or will or motivation to do it. Why? Because they love the control and they are scared shitless for the country to realize that not only are they unneeded, they are an obstacle to progress.
This is a test of the American will to preserve freedom. If we roll over and allow the government to have its way, we'll lose what makes this country great -- our productive ability, our innovative genius, our free pursuit of happiness. The worst thing about this is that we're squandering future citizens' inheritance of freedom and greatness. This is a disgrace. And if you think this is the end of government takeover of business, then you don't understand the situation.
